I assume the fuel pump is working ok - but test it by pumping some fuel into a bottle. It should pump frantically producing an almost continuous stream. If not - it could be the filter blocked/fuel pipe blocked or kinked/ or just dirty points.

SU carbs don't fail like that - you are grasping at straws. Check the carb over - but if there really is no 'gunk' blocking it up, and the piston rises and falls - there is nothing else to it !

Is the piston worn? I have just bought a carb overall kit from oldbury in birmingham, Must say that it is a great kit as you get everything you possibly need.
